I’ve posted a few techniques on how to cheat BitTorrent ratio. One of them is by hacking the BitTorrent tracker and another is to use tools such as RatioMaster or NRPG RatioMaster that connects to a tracker and behaves like a normal BitTorrent client, but without actually uploading to / downloading from other peers in the swarm.
Here’s a way on how you can BOOST your upload ratio when you’re in the midst of downloading and uploading using your favorite torrent client. So there’s no need to run those tools to spoof your uploads on BitTorrent trackers anymore because it’s a waste of time.
GreedyTorrent is a freeware software program that can boost your bittorrent upload ratio. GreedyTorrent can help you survive on trackers that enforce a minimum 1:1 trading ratio, and can keep you from getting banned for not uploading. So how does it work? In simple words, it modifies the conversation between your bittorrent client and the tracker, suppressing the actual upload amount. Instead, GreedyTorrent puts you in control of your own upload ratio — you can define how much upload you want to submit to the tracker.
For example, if you’re uploading at only 10KBps, you can multiple it even up to 100 times and get a total of 1MBps of uploads! You can set the value when you run GreedyTorrent.
GreedyTorrent features:
1. Unlike many other utilities out there, GreedyTorrent is set-once-and-forget type software. You do not need to configure settings each time you queue a torrent file to download.
2. No complicated options to configure. The default installation of GreedyTorrent is configured to provide you 5 times actual upload, enough for the survival of a normal ADSL user. Also there is no need to manually find the hash values or to set tracker URLs, GreedyTorrent takes care of them automatically. GreedyTorrent was developed with a novice user in mind, with an easy to use interface.
3. Unlike many other utilities, GreedyTorrent generates no additional traffic. GreedyTorrent does not run or emulate an “extra torrent client”, and thus does not waste your precious bandwidth.
4. Only one set of client identification and upload ratio are reported to tracker. Clients that emulate an extra bittorrent client have sometimes the disadvantage that two sets of ratio and client identification are reported to tracker, one from the utility and another from your actual bittorrent client.
5. You dont need to stop using your bittorrent client while using GreedyTorrent. This has the advantage that you can download 24×7, while GreedyTorrent automatically maintains the specified upload ratio.
6. The upload values reported by GreedyTorrent are no different than what an actual high speed uploader would generate. For instance, some utilities can increase your upload ratio dramatically by reporting a very high upload, lets say in the order of gigabytes in just one instance. However, this discrete abnormal value is easily detectable by an administrator. It remains as a contradiction to your normal upload, and is likely to result in an account ban. When it comes to GreedyTorrent, even if you are setting the upload as 50 times your actual upload, the ratios reported are consistent and continuous in nature — it can only be inferred by the administrator as a high speed upload.
7. GreedyTorrent does not generate any extra client identification, thus it cannot be banned by the tracker. You can use your favorite bittorrent client along with GreedyTorrent, the client identification generated by it will be preserved and reported without modification.
As you can see from the 7 features of GreedyTorrent, it’s practically flawless! Currently only uTorrent, Azureus and BitLord has been officially tested to work with GreedyTorrent without any problems. After you’ve downloaded and installed GreedyTorrent, you’ll need to do a little configuration on your BitTorrent client. You can find the guide to configure your BitTorrent clients here.
The latest release of GreedyTorrent is v1.01 beta (build 170). Even though it’s in Beta, it works well.
